It is believed they were were heading to Newquay but police said it was not clear if they had ever arrived there.
Mr Flournoy was known to have picked Mr Griffiths up in a van from the car park on the Plymouth side of the Tamar Bridge, at about 1900 BST the night they went missing, before crossing the bridge into Cornwall.
Both men have not been in touch with their families, which police said was completely out of character.

The police have said one of their lines of inquiry is drugs related.
